Back Panels Show

Hello again!

The last two weeks I’ve been working on a neat project for this “Back Panels” show taking place tonight at Solid State Goods in Pilsen, Chicago.

Back in the late 70’s and thru the 80’s folks used to get artistic on their denim and leather jackets do-it-yourself style.

I can’t wait to see what all the artists have come up with!

Friday, December 12
6:00pm – 11:00pm
